An Australian adventure as epic as it is luxurious, this 18-night trip takes you to some of Australia’s most incredible corners, from exciting cities to paradise islands and remote desert retreats, staying in a hand-picked collection of the country’s finest lodges and hotels. Please note this itinerary is only available May – October.
Start with three nights in sunny Sydney, seeing the city from a private boat as you cruise under the famous bridge and past the Opera House to some of its most exclusive neighbourhoods. You’ll also hike in the nearby Blue Mountains before returning back to the Harbour City on a spectacular helicopter flight.
Then it’s to the geographical and spiritual heart of the country and two nights at Longitude 131° within sight of sacred Uluru and surrounded by the red Simpson Desert, before two nights exploring the impossibly beautiful Whitsunday Islands.
Return to civilization in Melbourne, where you will be immersed in its uniquely cool culture, before flying out to rugged Tasmania for two nights at the award-winning Saffire Freycinet where you’ll meet the island’s eponymous devils, dine on just caught oysters and take in the sweeping views.
Aboard a private aircraft, fly back north to the mainland for lunch, then back out to Kangaroo Island for two nights at Oceanview Eco Villas, an equally stunning spot with an enviable clifftop perch. Kangaroo Island is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and it’s here you can spot ‘roos lounging on the beach, seek out bizarre platypus and get close to koala. End at the opposite side of Australia, on the vast North West frontier, at Bamurru Plains, a glamourous safari lodge encircled by bird-rich wetlands and savanna, the perfect place to sit back and absorb the whole experience.

Flinders Lane was once the heart of Melbourne’s thriving rag trade. The skinny, 1930s concrete building that now houses the Adelphi was once a soft goods warehouse but in the hands of a team of architects who bought it in the late 80s, it was turned into a wonderfully unique boutique hotel.
The redesign is the brainchild of Melbourne-based design studio, Hachem, and as soon as you enter, you immediately know you are somewhere special. A large horse and carriage sculpture doubles up as the reception desk, ceilings are dotted with mirrored tiles and bold modern art pieces adorn the walls. The colours and textures of the hotel are inspired by sweets and desserts, and rich chocolate tones abound alongside stools in the shape of liquorice allsorts and cherry-shaped light installations.

Flinders King rooms occupy the corners of the buildings, large windows flooding them with natural light and offering views out over Flinders Lane. The Palatial Suite features a separate bedroom and living area separated by a central hallway and with space for extra beds, it is a great option for families.

Set within 300km2 of private land to the west of Kakudu National Park, guests will enjoy access to miles of undisturbed coastal floodplains, savannah woodland and paperbark swamps.
Reconnecting with nature needn’t mean going back to basics, and ten safari-style bungalows ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. Each bungalow overlooks the floodplains and features mesh walls so you can hear, see and almost touch the wildlife and wilderness that surrounds you.
Décor reflects the region’s indigenous, hunting and pastoral history with buffalo horns, explorer maps, Aboriginal art and old photographs adorning the walls. Each bungalow comes with a species list so you can identify the animals that wander past.
The largest Kingfisher suite features a generous living space and enough room for extra beds, making it a great option for adventurous families. With no internet access, TV or mobile signal, switching off has never been easier and you’ll soon find yourself tuning in to the sounds of the bush as you drift off to sleep.

Enjoy the heights amongst the tree tops when you settle down to an evening in The Hide while those who love to fish are encouraged to embark on a river fishing or airboat fishing excursion.
Enjoy your days exploring the wilds of Bamurru Plains. The wildlife on show is some of the most impressive in Australia, and expert field guides will help you discover it. Watch hundreds of birds take flight from the lake as you fly by on an airboat, or slowly cruise down the Sampan River watching for silver flashes of fish breaking the surface, all sorts of creatures move in the grass, the air is warm and still and all eyes scan the shallows for big saltwater crocodiles. On guided walks and drives search for free roaming horses, buffalo, dingos and wallabies or spend some time up in the tower hide spotting the vibrant bird life of the area.

Three nights at Bamurru Plains Enjoy your days exploring the wilds of Bamurru Plains. The wildlife on show is some of the most impressive in Australia, and expert field guides will help you discover it. Watch hundreds of birds take flight from the lake as you fly by on an airboat, or slowly cruise down the Sampan River watching for silver flashes of fish breaking the surface, all sorts of creatures move in the grass, the air is warm and still and all eyes scan the shallows for big saltwater crocodiles. On guided walks and drives search for free roaming horses, buffalo, dingos and wallabies or spend some time up in the tower hide spotting the vibrant bird life of the area. |
